Man I was just a kid when I worked on this. We shot that with a Arri 16 mm film camera. I was fortunate to work with mentor cinematographer Ricardo Diaz as his assistant. He let me shoot a few shots as well. That low to the grass shot was one of the shots I did. Imagine having almost no experience at the time and someone gives you a little opportunity. Eva Allen and Vanz Chapman were producers on it. I was only involved in the Toronto part and didn't get to film in the US. That track never gets old. Those guys had skills.

Another thing that's missing from the music today besides lyricism is JAZZ SAMPLES!!!! 90s hip-hop was full of it, Some of the dopest music from that era had fat jazz samples. Why did we stop?

They stopped precisely because an entire decade of music relied on those samples.. Genres must evolve, and artists will always be eager to explore new ground. Just think of how bored you'd be if you were asked to draw the same picture 10 times. You'd probably start changing things up just to keep yourself interested

Remember watching this on Muchmusic in Toronto back in the day when they had Rap City that would play hip hop and watched it religiously and helped influence my music tastes. Too bad there was never a full length album by these guys . At least to my knowledge there wasn't. Would have bought it for sure . God i miss the days when hip hop was all about dope beats and lyrical anility . Not this wannabe autotune trap garbage . 90' s hip hop all the way .
